Tea Among the Daffodils

Hello everyone!  I finally have some flowers blooming in my garden to share with you.  My daffodils are blooming so beautifully I've decided to have tea time this weekend among them.








I'm using my Mom's set of blue and white china she bought years ago at Woolworths.  The teapot I bought years ago right after she gave me the set.










I've made lemon bars for us to enjoy and the teapot is filled with Tazo Wild Sweet orange herbal tea.
















My primroses fill the dark blue creamer and a few daffodils are in the kitty vase, another gift from my Mom years ago.













Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying tea with me!  Hope you have a wonderful week!

I will be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday, Tea in the Garden, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, A Return to Loveliness, Cottage Garden Party, Share Your Cup Thursday, Simple and Sweet Fridays, Home Sweet Home, and Show and Tell Friday.

A Spring Violet Tea

Hello and welcome!  Today I'd like to share a tea I had last week at my little farm cottage.  My precious 93 year old Mama spent the day with me and of course we had tea!  I set the table in front of the fireplace as it was a chilly day.








I'm using my violet teapot and cups to welcome spring  and also because they are a favorite of my Moms.





The teapot is stamped on the bottom Formalities by Baum Bro's.  I love the style and all the sweet violets.  The teacups are both a thrift store find. The fancy one is a Lefton,  and the other is stamped Japan.  The little bowl is marked Norcrest, Sweet Violets.














The teapot is filled with Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Sunset tea.  Perfect for a cool day.








Both chairs were a thrift store find!








Thank you so much for visiting and also for your sweet comments. Praying you have a wonderful week!

I'll be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday, Tea in the Garden, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, Tabletop Tuesday, A Return to Loveliness, Share Your Cup Thursday, Simple and Sweet Fridays, Home Sweet Home, and Show and Tell Friday.

Tea in Saint Paul, Mn.

Hello tea friends!  I have been so busy this week that I never found time to prepare and enjoy a leisurely tea!   So today I thought I would share a tea room my precious daughter and I visited last August.  We enjoyed Lady Elegant's Tea Room in Saint Paul, Mn. so very much!








The table was set with so many pretty tea items.









My daughter choose the Starburst tea, a fruity herbal tea.  I had the Jane Austin Blend, a black tea.








The tea tray arrived when we were choosing our hats!











A wonderful  menu!  Doesn't the food look delicious?




















I'm ready to visit the tea room again!  Wish it wasn't so far away!

Thank you for stopping by!  Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

I will be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday, Friends Sharing Tea, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea,  A Return to Loveliness,  and Share Your Cup Thursday.
